Go HBA Team Go!

August 31, 2010

It’s fall and that means high school and college sports are underway. But they aren’t the only teams competing this fall. Home Builders Associations (HBAs) across the country are competing to win a FREE social media workshop from Carol Flammer. Not only is Carol my partner in mRELEVANCE, but she is a home building industry expert and author of “Social Media for Home Builders: It’s Easier Than You Think.”

So, what is the outlook for the big game? Well, the kick-off was Aug. 23 and now 39 HBAs are competing head-to-head with book sales. Make sure to cheer them on as they compete for a three-hour workshop for their HBA or BIA.
